More than 40 years ago, this amazing woman walked into my ninth-grade English class. She was not confident about her skills, but she worked hard and developed into an effective writer. I love reading what she writes today.
I admire her so much for the woman she has become: a compassionate chaplain to people in their final years and days of life, a light-bringer to terminally ill children, an enthusiastic gymnastic coach, a brave and strong woman who faces many obstacles with grace and humor. She is touching so many lives with her love and care.
A few days ago we spent a few hours together, catching up. She is articulate, smart, and wise. Although she had a hard time not calling me Mrs. Vanderzalm, it was so wonderful to meet as friends: Lisa and Lynn.
